Quoting Paul: "If there is enough interest in companion italics for Source Code, hopefully the community will help to develop them." |
|
@miguelsousa wouldn't it be appropriate to keep the issue open so it is recognized that italics is desired and a contribution of italic shapes would be accepted? |
|
I think so. We’ll leave this an open issue for now and see what comes of it. |
|
Agree. |
|
Some editors or themes make use of italics for special or otherwise reserved words. I'm in favour of italics. |
|
This is an issue for Brackets too (we had to turn off bold/italics in the Markdown mode we got from CodeMirror, which uses them by default). |
|
I will add as well that italics would be of interest to me. I will try to see what I can do to help, though I know little of how to make fonts, so I fear that "making encouraging noises" is about what I can do. |
|
Italic would be nice, so it can be used in TextMate :) |
|
Add my vote/interest for it. Both my source code in IntelliJ IDEA as well as Sublime Text highlighting uses italics and the faux italics/slant Source Code Pro uses right now is not "good enough" for me to work with. So in the end I had to revert back to Consolas. |
|
Add my vote for a true italic. It is very nice to have in Vera Sans Mono. |
|
I'd like proper italics too, if at all possible. (I tend to use italics to style code comments). |
|
+1 from me too. We live in the world of theme-able editors and it is a pretty useful addition. Especially since most text editors default to having comments in italics. |
|
I'd also love to see italics for use in Sublime Text as well. |
|
+1 it would complete the font. |
|
+1 from me. Consolas has a beautiful, contrasting italic face. Source Code Pro just isn't complete without italics. I think the actual design should be fairly simple; we could simply base the italics on those from Source Sans Pro. |
|
I think that we all agree that italics would be a very useful addition to this (or any) typeface family. I previously fielded a similar request on our blog where I stated:
Perhaps we will seed this project with some source files in the new year and see what those of you interested can contribute. |
|
+1 italics for SublimeText |
|
Some of us can't afford FontLab Studio, or whatever program opens the source files you provide. Could you possibly release the files in the .sfd format, so us poor men using FontForge can edit them? |
|
We have standardized on the UFO format for outline storage. FontForge should be able to open UFO files. We plan to make UFO versions of the existing projects available in the near future. |
|
Appreciate the great font. Italics would be great. |
|
+1, Source Code Pro needs true italics. |
|
I agree, true italics would be nice, but until one if our customers builds a time machine... We will have to wait until I have time to do it or someone else helps with the development. +1’s won’t get us thrre any sooner although I am encouraged by your interest in this project. |
|
+1 !! |

/0 just kidding! just letting you know that I have actually started into exploring italic shapes for Source Code, however I have a lot of projects on my plate at the moment that take precedence, so thank you for your continued patience and interest in this project. |
|
Have a good vacation, you've done an awesome job (all of you), and looking forward to the end result. It's also been very nice to follow how fonts grow, I think a lot of people (me included) have gained new appreciation for it. |
|
@Melindrea i should hope so! i think this is part of the reason we wanted to do the development of the italics ‘in the open’ like this. |
|
@Melindrea @pauldhunt Agreed. Even if I don’t have a new appreciation for it, I certainly have a more specific, concrete, and 💪 appreciation. |
|
I'm super excited about having italics for Source Code Pro. Thank you for all of the hard (really good) work! |
|
I've just installed the italic font and works well (so far) for me. Thanks for this! |
|
+1 for davidpmccormick's 1.002-it branch. Using it in Textmate; Looking good! |
|
Italics will be part of the next release. |
|
👍 |
|
When will the next release be available? This would be awesome 👍 |
|
Hopefully within the first half of 2015. Happy holidays! |
|
Looking forward to the Italic shape this year! |
|
It’s been a year since Teo started on the italics, and I am now putting the finishing touches on the next version of the family. I expect that the next release of the family will happen sometime in July. Thank you everyone for being patient, I hope that the wait will have been worth it. |
|
Woooooooooo! Like 🎄 in June! |
|
more like July. 😁 |
|
From what I've seen (I'm using a beta version in Mac Scrivener) it is gorgeous =) Thank you so much! |
|
@pauldhunt amazing! 🎉 Will it by any chance also be released on google fonts? |
|
of course, I expect google to pick them up, unless they have an issue with the character set discrepancy (Greek and Cyrillic missing from the italics).
|
|
👍 it's the only thing preventing me from switching to source code pro full time. Thanks for the hard work! |
|

|
Closed? Hm, guess this means Italics have landed! |
|
@Francisc pretty much. The official release is on Friday, but you can already find the fonts in the |
|
Amazing work |
|
That's so awesome, thanks Miguel. |
|
So glad about this, thanks for making it happen =) |
|
Wow! My eyes thanks you guys! |
|
Resolved in the latest release: |
|
Look at all the italics!!! |
|
Thanks for all the hard work. |
and others
It would be great to have italic shapes too. Auto-italics will wreak havoc on characters like
